Default My 10 cents worth on avoiding pain

I wear high heels all the time.

Over the years I've discovered a few tricks to aid comfortable wearing.

Not rocket science I know but here are some of my tips:

A. Try not to walk too far in them. There are Taxies.
If I am going to have to walk to or at a party or event I take a pair of lower heels in my bag. A quick change of shoes before walking in and you are fresh and ready for looking good in the heels.

b. I avoid standing around for long periods.

c. If you find that it is the balls of your feet that start to hurt you might want to get some Gel inserts for added comfort.

d. If your ankles are what start to hurt try going for styles that have an ankle strap, they give a little bit more support.

e. Avoid doing exercises your doctor gives you for getting used to wearing flats.
